agreed....it is really useful to have up. This lets me see so much more data than on my normal dash display as well as GPS speed etc. Should be able to set up yourself vs dealer.

I believe the answer is "yes". The mobile module is just extends a bluetooth connection to your device. Your gauge is hardwired and should remain active.

I missed out on Merc's promo last spring, but chasing down current pricing to maybe add two modules to the 360. Anyone have experience with doing this on twins? Can I connect my phone and toggle between both engines?

Yes it plugs into a harness on your engine. I’ll take pics next time I am at my boat

A7, did you tell dogs about the terminating plug? They're sold separately and the vessel view module won't work with out the terminating plug, ask us how we know!
